Which Lense
I love motorcycle touring and photography and think they are perfectly complementary hobbies... except when you have limited space and don't want to damage your gear.
Of course, I'm looking for a do-it-all lense for my Nikon D70. I take your typical moto tourist photos -- landscapse, people outdoors, and friends on bikes doing stupid things. On my last trip through West Texas, I took my kit lense which is a 18-70mm or so. It did great for about 1/2 my photos but was really missing my long lense. I have a 70-300 VR at home but was worried that I'd break the VR bits as I'm guessing they are fragile.
Anyone have any ideas how fragile VR lenses versus non-VR?
I'm thinking of buying an 18-200mm. Those of you who travel w/ em, what do you think? How about a 18-200mm and a teleconverter? I've never used either.
Thanks!
